Victoria Silvstedt was named Miss Sweden in 1993, an honor which opened the door to her career as a model. Silvstedt later became Playboy's Playmate of the Year for 1997, having first appeared in the magazine in December of 1996. The Playboy connection, along with her classic blonde looks, made Silvstedt a favorite Internet pinup as the 21st century began. She also has modelled for the Guess clothing company.
